Indo-Portuguese 3 Escudos 1959 – Portuguese India | Copper-Nickel | Uncirculated | Scarce

A scarce Indo-Portuguese 3 Escudos coin dated 1959, issued during the final years of Portuguese rule in India. Struck in copper-nickel, this Republic-period coin weighs approximately 7.93 g and is catalogued as A. Gomes, page 606, 17.02 / KM#34.

This historically important coin belongs to the Republic of Portuguese India (1910–1961) and represents the closing period of Portuguese colonial coinage in India. The 1959 3 Escudos is particularly attractive to collectors of Goa, Portuguese India, Indo-Portuguese and colonial Indian coinage.

The present example is graded Uncirculated (UNC), with sharp details and minimal evidence of circulation. Its attractive grade combined with its scarce availability makes it a desirable addition to a specialised Indo-Portuguese collection.
